AI Tools to Automate Your Email Marketing Workflows
Map the email workflow
Break email production into five stages: strategy, research, drafting, QA, and reporting. List all recurring tasks—topic ideation, audience segmentation, copy review, deliverability checks. This map shows where AI can assist without compromising compliance.
Use AI for research and audience insights
Feed your CRM personas, support tickets, and survey responses into AI. Ask for pain points, desired outcomes, and objections. Use those insights to plan campaigns. When crafting nurture sequences, run prompts through the Email Writer to draft first-pass copy.
Automate drafting and personalization
AI copywriters can generate subject lines, preview text, and body copy variations faster than human-only workflows. Provide brand voice guidelines and examples so the AI stays consistent. Use the Facebook Ad Copy Generator to spin email angles into retargeting ads, extending campaign life.
QA and deliverability
Even automated emails need human QA. Build checklists for links, personalization tokens, accessibility, and compliance notes. Set AI reminders inside your project management tool for final approvals. Monitor deliverability metrics and ask AI to spot anomalies early.
Reporting and optimization
After each send, export metrics—open rate, click rate, conversions—and ask AI to summarize the findings. Prompt it for hypotheses and new test ideas. Document wins and misses in your playbook so the entire team learns faster.

Work with compliance teams, strip sensitive data from prompts, and store outputs securely. AI should augment—not jeopardize—compliance.

Research, draft creation, segmentation notes, and reporting. Use automation where repetition exists.
